Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Li Mingda was about to ask about the other big event that Mrs. Su said, when the door of the bedroom was kicked open suddenly.

Li Chengqian entered the door in a hurry, glared at Li Mingda, turned around and grabbed Su Shi's arm, and asked her if she said anything.

Su Shi sneered: "It's just a coincidence that you came, you're about to say it, and you haven't had time to say it yet."

Li Chengqian pushed Su Shi onto the bed, gritted his teeth hard to maintain a calm tone, and asked someone to take good care of Su Shi.Instead, he rushed to Li Mingda and ordered him, "Come out with me."

Then, with his hands behind his back, he strode out the door.

Li Mingda glanced at Su Shi.

Su Shi gave Li Mingda a bitter and gentle smile, "Go, you know your elder brother's temper. Aren't you brothers and sisters always close? If you have anything to ask your elder brother, it will be clear. I don't have anything here. It can be said that it is up to you to decide whether to kill or cut."

"Then what about the aborted fetus in your womb? Whose is it if it's not the eldest brother?" Li Mingda asked.

Su sneered, "Of course it belongs to your eldest brother, otherwise, who else would I be born with in this deep palace? Don't mention this matter again, I feel disgusted just thinking about it. This child is a villain. Otherwise, he slipped away." Not a pity at all."

Li Mingda wanted to ask again, so the eunuch in front of the prince came to urge him.

Li Mingda had no choice but to leave.

Li Chengqian was standing in the middle of the courtyard with his hands behind his back full of anger.

Just by looking at his back, Li Mingda knew that Li Chengqian was in a rage at the moment and was not easy to provoke.

"Why did you suddenly come to my East Palace without knowing it. Si, you have become more and more arrogant because of Aye's favor, and even my East Palace is no longer in your eyes."

"Big brother, do you really want to scold me for being arrogant, or do you hate the bad things you did when I found out that you got so angry?" Li Mingda asked back.

Li Chengqian was startled, and squinted at Li Mingda.As the nineteenth sister, he really became more and more 'understanding'.

"Give me a promise now, can you not intervene in this matter?"

Li Mingda took out the token from his waist, raised his hand up to Li Chengqian's eyes.Yi told Li Chengqian again that this matter had already arrived at Tianting, and if the token was issued, it would be difficult to recover.

Li Chengqian's eyes suddenly turned into ice, extremely cold.

"Sis, you are trying to force elder brother to death." After a long silence, Li Chengqian sighed slowly with anger, "During this period, it was...forget it, you should go back. The matter of your sister-in-law , how you like to say it, she is always wrong."

Li Mingda looked at Li Chengqian's slumped back, feeling a little depressed, and his mood was even more complicated.

"Sister-in-law said that elder brother has a bigger matter." Li Mingda stared at Li Chengqian's back and said hurriedly.

When facing her elder brother, she still hoped to clarify the matter on the spot.

"Listen to her nonsense, believe it if you like it." Li Chengqian hurried back to the hall with big strides after dropping these words without turning his head.

On the contrary, Li Mingda was a little worried about Su Shi's safety, so he immediately sent two imperial physicians to go to check Su Shi's pulse after a while.At least with outsiders around, the Su family should be considered safe.

Su Shi has already confessed that she has almost found out what she wants to investigate, and this matter should be enough, but Li Mingda's heart is even more suspended.She didn't know what would be the result of telling Li Shimin about these things. That was her elder brother and sister-in-law, and all the situations were investigated by her hands. It was impossible to say that she only cared about right and wrong and disregarded any family affection.

Li Mingda went back to his room and sat by the window in a daze.

At this time, Princess Changshan suddenly appeared at the window and stuck out her tongue at Li Mingda.

Li Mingda was startled, and when he fixed his eyes on her, he was a little confused, "When did you come here?"

Princess Changshan Li Yumin grinned and straightened her temples, then yawned and said, "I came early, I heard that you went to the East Palace, so I wandered around, and then I found out that the sun is good, after sitting for a while, who Zhi fell asleep."

No wonder I didn't hear footsteps just now, I just felt like something moved suddenly, I thought it was a tree branch swaying outside the window, but I didn't expect that there was a person under my window.Li Mingda looked around outside the window and saw no one else, so he laughed and scolded Li Yumin, "Crazy girl, you don't have a maid, come in quickly."

Li Yumin immediately rolled up his sleeves, and then jumped up with his hands on the window sill, then stepped on the table next to the window and continued to jump off the ground.

Li Mingda sideways dodged for a while, and then helplessly touched Li Yumin's head, "I told you to come in through the main entrance, but you jumped out of the window again. Fortunately, I was here, and Aye saw it, and you will be scolded again."

Li Yumin didn't argue, just smiled at Li Mingda.

"What's wrong with Nineteenth Sister? Seeing you looking dazed and absent-minded, you must have something to worry about. Why don't you tell my sister, I'll help you out of your troubles. Go up and beat those who bullied you black-eyed, that's all." It's called relief." Li Yumin said, sat down unceremoniously, grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table and knocked them.

When Yumin usually had no elders, she liked to be so casual, reminding her several times and not changing it, so Li Mingda didn't bother to talk about her.After all, she knows a little bit about propriety, so she doesn't do that to the outside world.Even if the sisters get along casually, Li Mingda doesn't stick to her anymore.

"You can't afford to offend those who bully me, eat your food well." Li Mingda grabbed another handful of peanuts and sent them to Yu Min.

Yu Min was overjoyed, and while eating, she said that the fruit here tastes good, and it tastes very delicious.

"Why didn't you play with Hui'an today, and came here?" Li Mingda asked.

"Sister 21 wants to learn to write, and she doesn't like to talk to me, so I went to Miss Nineteen. Do you have something to do? Then get busy, and I'll leave if I make a fuss here." Yu Min laughed grandly.

Li Mingda nodded and let Li Yumin play on his own.She continued to sit by the window as before, seeming to be in a quiet daze, but she was actually reviewing everything that had happened during these days over and over again in her mind.

Tian Hanshu leaned over and whispered to Li Mingda, "Yu Feng didn't say a word."

"I expected it, you go to the Shangshi Bureau to find a little maid named Xiaolu, and you will take her to do this in a while..."

This court lady, Xiaolu, happened to be passing by Shangshi Bureau a few days ago, she took a look from a distance, and found that her appearance was somewhat similar to that of the Crown Princess, and if she changed her attire, she might be even more similar.At that time, a court lady called her, and Li Mingda remembered her name by the way.

After Li Mingda gave orders to Tian Hanshan, he turned to look at Li Yumin and asked her if she had had enough fun, and told her to go back first when she had had enough fun.

"Oh, yes, I'm here today to talk to Nineteenth Sister, I almost forgot." Li Yumin chewed quickly, flattened her bulging cheeks, and hurriedly said.

"If you're not in a hurry, go back and say, I have something important right now."

Li Yumin was stunned, and nodded with a blushing face, then said goodbye to Li Mingda with a smile, and then said coquettishly to Li Mingda in a small voice: "Then my sister will come to see her in two days."

After Li Mingda sent Li Yumin away, he wanted to go to see the situation at Yu Feng's side in person.Cheng Chubi was guarding outside the hall, when he saw Li Mingda, his eyes froze.

Cheng Chubi immediately changed his mind, bowed his head and decided not to speak.I don't want Princess Jinyang to walk up to her in two or three steps, and let him speak freely.

Cheng Chubi shuddered in his heart, expecting that Princess Jinyang was really powerful, she could read minds, and immediately saw through his thoughts.

"It's not appropriate to speak here." Cheng Chubi said in a low voice.

Li Mingda asked Cheng Chubi to go with her, and when they arrived at the small cell of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Li Mingda led Cheng Chubi and Tian Hansong forward, and when there was no one in the supervision room, Li Mingda asked Cheng Chubi to answer.

Cheng Chubi hesitated whether he should speak or not, his face was a bit perplexed.

"Since when did Guard Cheng become so indecisive?"

"If the princess promises that she won't be held accountable, the subordinates will dare to speak up."

"Okay, I will give you this guarantee." Li Mingda said simply.

Cheng Chubi: "Someone asked me to bring a message to the princess. This case cannot be investigated any further. Now that I have what I wanted at the beginning, it is just right. If it gets too deep, it will be difficult to deal with it. I'm afraid it will make the princess regret it."

"Who?" Li Mingda looked at Cheng Chubi sharply and asked immediately.

Cheng Chubi bowed his head in a muffled voice, without saying a word.

Li Mingda glared at him, intending to show off his power again.He saw Cheng Chubi knelt down and let Li Mingda punish him.Yu You can't be unrighteous, and he can't be unfaithful to his superiors.So at such a juncture, he can only get the best of both worlds if he chooses to be punished himself.

"You are staunch, even stronger than your father." Li Mingda smiled helplessly and asked him to stand up.Such a talent, how could she have the heart to punish him.

"I have received your friend's advice, but I may not be able to listen to it." Li Mingda sighed casually, and sat down with his hands behind his back, and then a guard brought Yu Feng back and ordered him to kneel on the ground for interrogation.

Yu Feng was obviously greatly stimulated, and his body kept shaking.When he saw Li Mingda, he pleaded bitterly, begging her not to hurt the princess, and let the princess go.

Cheng Chubi frowned puzzledly, looked at Yu Feng's reaction suspiciously, and was extremely puzzled.When he accompanied Tian Hanshan to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrest people before, this Yu Feng looked like "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and I won't tell you if you kill him", why did he suddenly relax his guard now, afraid of becoming like this ?

Cheng Chubi immediately looked at Li Mingda, and saw that she was putting on a very powerful and confident appearance, and he guessed in his heart that this might be some clever trick played by Princess Jinyang to force Feng to confess.

Li Mingda just watched coldly, without saying a word.

Her situation made Yu Feng feel that the matter was irreversible, and hurriedly said that he pushed the princess off the cliff, and it had nothing to do with the princess.

"You called me here just to tell me such a silly lie? The Su family has already recognized her, and what you say now is really ridiculous. She has committed a lot of crimes, from my affairs to Qi Changshi, Princess Hengshan, and all kinds of deliberate attempts to lead the suspicion to Princess Gaoyang are unforgivable."

"I apologize, I shouldn't talk nonsense, but please give me another chance to explain. The Crown Princess didn't intend to push your master down that day, but she just waved her hand unintentionally during the quarrel. As for refusing to save her, what can she do? Well, she is a poor person, she has been suffering all kinds of tortures in the East Palace. At the time of the dispute, your lord was aggressive, and she was also frightened, and she had an evil thought in order to protect herself. But apart from this incident, the rest of the things really mattered It was done by slaves, and the crown princess didn't know about it!

The slave and the crown princess have known each other since their early years, when they were still in the Su Mansion of Anzhou.The concubine of the crown prince has a kind heart. Seeing the suffering of the slave, she treats the slave very well, and even kindly helps the slave regain his good status.It's a pity that the slave's fate was not good, and he was calculated by his family, and was eventually sent to the palace to be a eunuch.During the days when Nuchu was in the palace, he was humiliated in every possible way, so he became discouraged and decided to die. It was the princess who saved Nu's life several times.From then on, the slave swore to be loyal to the Crown Princess until his death, to repay her kindness. "

Yu Fengsheng was afraid that Li Mingda would not believe him, so he hurriedly explained the past of his acquaintance with the Su family, hoping that Li Mingda could understand that he was a person who was really willing to do all kinds of evil things for the princess, regardless of his life.

"You mean, you instigated Qi Changshi's murder?" Li Mingda asked.

Yu Fengying said, "At that time, I heard that your lord was awake and couldn't remember the incident of falling off the cliff, so I thought that your lord would definitely pursue the truth about this matter. So I wanted to make a fuss to divert your lord's attention and let him Your lord suspects others.

When Qi Changshi was in trouble, I saw him pitiful, so I remembered my past self and saved him.Now the time came, and he just needed it, so he sent him several messages, implying that this time was a good opportunity for him to take revenge.

But he didn't expect that this matter would be finally found out by your lord, and instead of leading Princess Gaoyang, Qi Changshi was involved instead.As for the orchid handkerchief in Qi Changshi's closet, it was a slave.At that time, I knew that after your lord had arrested Qi Changshi, I was worried that the matter would be revealed, so I stuffed the 21 princess handkerchief to disturb your lord's sight. "

Yu Feng went on to explain that he saw the princess push Li Mingda off the cliff that day, then sent the princess away, and then turned back to pick up the broken handkerchief left on the cliff in time. The purpose was to make people think that Princess Jinyang fell accidentally. cliff.In the end, it happened that Li Hui'an came, so Yu Feng hid, and then saw Li Hui'an crying on the cliff, and knocked off the handkerchief from the cliff.At that time, Yu Feng noticed that Li Hui'an's handkerchief was exactly the same as the broken handkerchief he picked up.

It was a flash of thought at first, but after Qi Changshi had an accident, Yu Feng was worried about the exposure of the princess and himself, so he naturally thought of taking advantage of this.And it just so happened that there was a handkerchief left by the 21st princess before the crown princess, so Yu Feng took this opportunity to stuff the handkerchief into a piece of clothing in Qi Changshi's closet.Yu Feng did these actions, just as he said, in order to confuse Li Mingda's investigation vision and try to confuse this matter.But never expected that Princess Jinyang is an exceptionally intelligent and powerful person, and she was able to peel off such a complicated matter, and finally found him.

Li Mingda wanted to know more truths, so he deliberately guided Yu Feng.

"However, if you confess these things, it will not alleviate the crimes committed by Mrs. Su. Even if she missed me and caused me to fall off a cliff, I can forgive her. She killed the emperor's heir and met her lover in private. Everything is enough for her to die once, and it is unforgivable."

"Wu Wang is not her lover. She went to see him that day, but she was upset to get angry, and to do something to balance the evil that the prince committed to her. Rather than a private meeting, it is more likely that she deliberately angry prince.

As for the aborted child, how could she bear it?That was when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got drunk two months ago, mistook the Crown Princess for someone else, and forced her... Any woman would bear her man calling someone else's name all night, venting on herself, and finally conceived a child because of it? " Yu Fengyue said, the more fierce the lip fight.

"His Royal Highness is from a noble family, so you shouldn't treat women as human beings like this! Besides, the princess is also from a famous family, so she is worthy of him. Back then in Anzhou, she was the most desirable beauty and good match for all the noble children in the local area. Everyone treats her like a Bodhisattva. But in this Taiji Palace, it is so unfair to suffer such torture every day. No one is human, and no one wants to live a good life, but has this huge deep palace ever given her A little respite?"

After Yu Feng finished speaking, tears fell like rain, and he kept kowtowing to Li Mingda.Although he didn't know Princess Jinyang well, he had long heard that the princess was upright, upright and kind-hearted.He believed that as long as the princess had a little compassion, she would definitely not put the princess in such a cruel end in this matter.

Yu Feng still kowtowed again and again, begging Li Mingda to help intercede and reduce the punishment for the princess.

"I know that you are protecting him. There are some things that you cannot do alone. It must be caused by the conspiracy of the two of you. However, I have heard some facts clearly. What is wrong is wrong. He should be punished, and you should also be punished." Bear the evil consequences of your evil deeds." After Li Mingda finished speaking, he waved his hand and sent someone to take him down.

Yu Feng refused to leave, and lay down on the ground begging Li Mingda to help him intercede, "Your Majesty, please help the Crown Princess Chen Qing's sufferings, even if she has done bad things, she is not a terribly evil person, she really shouldn't be tortured! Even if she dies, I beg you to leave her a whole body and give her a peaceful death, she has suffered enough in this life, she really shouldn't suffer this crime!"

Yu Feng cried with snot running down his nose and was extremely sad and indignant. In the end, he was dragged down forcefully by the guards.

Sitting behind the case, Li Mingda listened to Yu Feng's miserable pleading, his face was extremely cold.

After a while, Cheng Chubi saw that Princess Jinyang was still the same, so he looked at Tian Hanshan, the eunuch beside her.

Tian Hanshan winked his eyes and motioned to Cheng Chubi, expressing that he didn't dare to provoke him.It is rare for her princess to be so cold and difficult to get along with. It can be seen that she was shocked by what Yu Feng said earlier.And Tian Hanshan also knew what the princess was thinking at this moment.As a woman, there must be some empathy.What happened to the prince is indeed a torture for a woman.After all, the prince is a prince with a noble status. Even if this kind of thing is sent to a saint, the biggest punishment he will receive is nothing more than a few reprimands and a few clean-ups.On the contrary, it is the actions of the crown princess, I am afraid that her status will be lost, and she will definitely be severely punished.

Cheng Chubi looked at the troubled Princess Jinyang and understood, so he decided to keep silent and just wait for your lord's order.

"Guard Cheng, write it down, and you will report it to the saint." Li Mingda took a deep breath, then slowly got up, and immediately told Tian Hanshan to give Cheng Chubi all the things he had sorted out from the previous investigation.Afterwards, Li Mingda drove back to the Lizheng Palace.

As soon as Li Mingda came back, he saw Li Ke.

Li Ke had just come out to apologize to Li Shimin, when he saw Li Mingda, he nodded slightly as a greeting, and planned to leave.

After Li Mingda returned the gift lightly, he didn't say any more, and watched Li Ke leave.

After a while, Li Mingda heard Li Ke talking to Cheng Chubi again.

When Cheng Chubi said that the case was about to be closed, Li Ke was silent for a while, and then said: "Actually, the princess did not stop crying that day. When I was leaving, I advised her to think about it. Don't be so impulsive in the future. She told me I said a word, but I didn't say it to my nineteenth sister before."

Cheng Chubi: "What did you say?"

"Kungang is in flames; jade and stone are burnt together."
